Beyond disgusting

I am so very proud of you for taking a stand like this! Imagine leaving this for poor hotel staff to deal with! Vile!

Blimey! You’ve blown this out of proportion.

At no point did OP say she was thuggish, shouting and threatening. I think what OP did was reasonable based on what the nappy people did.

Well done OP!
People need to get more assertive with such disgusting creatures.

Given there was more than one person, absolutes no excuse for that, it’s literally disgusting. Good on you for being so assertive OP! I can’t imagine that’s normal behaviour in any country to leave shitty nappies in the corridor stinking the place out. Get some carrier bags or carry nappy sacks like most parents

That is NOT normal in the US. What is normal is to put them in diaper bags and dispose of properly.

Brits can also be awful on holiday (and elsewhere) I agree but the thread concerned Americans

If the hotel staff were involved they wouldn't have been able to act as OP did, and anything they said would bear no result. I have to laugh at what is considered "aggressive" behaviour on MN 😅

The only people I know of who have been actively removed from my country for outrageous behaviour were Brits. People from any country can be boorish louts, there is no need to single one race out (and yes I know I have just done that, but that was an example to you, normally I wouldn't).

Tell them to buy diaper bags in the morning. Then tell them to scrape the diarrhoea out of the diaper and into the toilet, then roll up the nappy and put it in their bin.

Absolutely disgusting, and a total disregard to other guests.

While I agree staff shouldn’t have to deal with sick babies. They do have to deal with guests who are misbehaving, so don’t get the push back about contacting them regarding this issue.

Why is it ok to accept revolting behaviour?

This is NOT normal in America. They were taking the piss and would have some other stupid excuse doing the same thing in the US.

Why should "the staff" have to deal with it? How hard is it to put something in a bin? - which is the responsibilty of the parents. People wouldn't be banging repeatedly on the door if they had dealt with it in a normal manner.

Well done OP!

I applaud you!
Simply vile.. Nappies and her behaviour

The poster is either from North America or its a reverse.

I have been worked in a restaurant where someone changed their kid's nappy on the table in the middle of service. They didn't have any other adults with them to look after the other kids. She was still asked to leave by the manager.

In the words of the late Whitney Houston, oh hell to the nah, this is not normal American behavior. Additonally, on behalf of the 340 million other Americans, please accept our apologies for your smelly, raucous ordeal. In my family we always separately bag shitty diapers and take them to the outdoor garbage can. Never, ever are they left in the house. Never in a million years would think to leave them outside of the door of public accomodation. Jesus, help me!

Didn't happen.

Sounds repulsive! The norm in Europe is to double or even triple bag diapers (you can cheap disposable diaper baggies everywhere) or use ziploc bags to prevent smell. Then place it outside on a balcony, window ledge or someplace that will not disturb anyone with the smell. Never indoors unless you have a diaper disposal bin supplied. Housekeeping know if there's a baby in the room and will remove those baggies along with regular trash.

@takeittakeit The family putting diarrhoea filled nappies in a public right of way were massively in the wrong. Honestly, who in their right mind would do this. Apparently some on here think it's perfectly OK even though there was another adult in the room more than capable of removing them to a closed bin away from the corridor.

You acted appropriately and with restraint. You probably prevented the spread of further infection by your actions. Well done. I hope the rest of your stay is free of unwanted shitty odours and health hazards in the hotel corridors.

I get your drift OP but I would have very 'ceremoniously' bagged the diapers offering my open bag to "Modom" to dispose of the 2nd nappy. Then whilst her compatriots opened their doors would have offered to take any of their 'shitty stuff' too; whilst spouting a few mutterings regarding viva la france and how very handy those little brits can be, etc.

And looked them squarely in the eye whilst pointedly ignoring them over breakfast the next day.

But then I'm a classy bitch, me....

We stayed in a Parisian hotel when my LO was about 8 months old. I had the dilemma of WTF to do with the nappies, and swiftly dispatched OH to the corner shop to buy bin bags, which we filled and took out with us to a street bin.

If they're open at that time. And if a shop selling that type of stuff is nearby, and the person knows where to go.

All that stuff is available in shops.

Not normal. Normal is to call housekeeping to ask for an extra garbage bag to put dirty diapers into. You then loosely toe the bag so you can put more into it and ask housekeeping to dispose of the bag the next day. You try and empty poo into the toilet if possible then roll diaper up tightly front into back then tightly pull tabs acrooss and secure. They won't leak or stink. It's a tightly wrapped little pouch. No decent person would leave a dirty diaper outside their door. No, it's not cultural in N Am. I'm Canadian, but have spent a lot of time traveling in the US.

Ewwww no way, that's fucking disgusting and a health hazzard to everyone else. Also why aren't they bagging the shit filled nappies? You aren't a thug, you've asked a very reasonable request, which should never have needed to be asked in the first place!
